Elephant

I thought this movie was directed really well. There wasn't a lot of editing. It looks like a movie that was made in a really low budget and there was also no known actors in the movie. All the actors were unknown high school kids but the movie turned out great.
This movie isn't for entertainment. I admit i fell asleep a couple times because most of the movie was kids walking around in the halls of the school. When I finished the movie, I realized why they needed all of the scenes in the movie.
I loved the point of views from a lot of the character. We knew from the beginning what was going to happen but Gus Van Sant made it a lot more interesting. He used camera work to look into what every character was doing that day. It's true that there might be no story in most of the movie but it all leaded to the ending.
I thought that the ending wasn't that good. Even though, the ending was when it really got interesting, I don't think it should have ended the way it did. Everything was getting so interesting and "utterly disturbing" and the movie just stops. Besides that and the boredom in most of the movie, I think this movie is really worth watching. It teaches you something about what can and did happen to some schools.
